Can't play 3rvc format

I have received a CD with a number of AVI files on it from a security camera. When I try to play them on any media player on my PC I am getting an error message saying that I need to download a codec.
I have also downloaded several different codec packs but to no avail.

I got this error message when installed VLC
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "3RVC". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Afraid I don't have the make and model of the security camera

Hi dbrunton,
When I click on the fist one I don't get any thing to download it just looks the same as the http://www.3rdvr.com homepage and I need to pick something and that's the problem don't know what to click on.
Any ideas ?

Unzip and rename it by removing the .txt extension. This will make the file a .exe file and you can then run it. Do a virus scan on the file first before you run it so you can be sure it isn't malware.DVR-Codec.zip

Do you wish that you could place an email signature under a reply? Well, unfortunately, you can't. That great Exchange/Office 365 signature you've created will just appear at the bottom of an email chain. What a pain! Is there really no way to solve this? Well, there might be...

MidComp if installing movie codec doesn't solve the playback these types of video are usually in a special format high def for that Camera.
Possibly a H .264 is a raw video file , If I could test it that would simplify the outcome.
As another work around
We had a similar problem here a few months go where this member had a file from a cctv camera and couldn't play it either.
Here is that question,
This is a video from a (low end) security camera DVR/http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Personal_Electronics/Cameras_Camcorders/Q_28573771.html

You could download MPC-Be and test ( I have 4 open source players to test video playback)
The solution I gave was to convert it to MKV using the divx converter I posted above
Divx player http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx includes divx converter free. The CCTV file was then playable

Thank you so much for all your help, problem is now resolved.
I used dbruton zip file and this solved the problem.
Thank you for your input also Merete I will award you some points also.
Thanks again Experts.
